SUMMARY: Jackson State head football coach TK Taylor will have an even more active role on the sidelines on the Talking Sports Live broadcast with Rob Jay and Jamie Horton. Taylor will be calling plays for the offense this season, drawing from his experience as an offensive coordinator. With last year’s offensive coordinator Maurice Harris joining Auburn’s staff, Taylor is stepping up to lead JSU’s offense. He believes that if the team can score around 30 points per game, they have a good chance at playing for a championship. Taylor is excited to take on this role and showcase his skills as a play caller. Additionally, Wisconsin linebacker Chris Aura has been hired as JSU’s new coach.

Jackson State head football coach TC Taylor is going back to his roots this fall. He’ll be calling plays for the JSU offense. Coach Taylor broke the news on the Talking Sports Live broadcast on Wednesday night. He’s been able to lead high scoring offenses in spot duty for JSU over the last few years when called upon. The goal is for the Tigers to put 30 points per game and he’s done that as an offensive coordinator. Also Coach Taylor is bringing in former Carolina Panthers linebacker Chris Orr onto his coaching staff. The Wisconsin product will be the new linebackers coach.

SUMMARY: The Stewpot Opportunity Center in Jackson is responding to dangerously cold temperatures by extending its hours to 22 per day and providing shelter for up to 30 people. The center ensures guests receive food, clothing, hygiene items, hot meals, showers, and rest, with activities like movies to help them stay comfortable. Director Javonda Stanton emphasizes that it is inhumane for people to be left outside in the cold, which can lead to conditions like hypothermia and frostbite.
